Role players in World of Warcraft enjoy customization options. One of the best items is now in the game – but you need to hurry.
Those who indulge in role-playing in World of Warcraft typically settle for relatively little. It just takes many character customization options, beautiful locations, and now and then a toy or two to tweak the environment a bit – like those wonderful tents.
During the “Love is in the Air” event, there is now a toy that every RP fan should have in their collection.
What kind of toy is it? It is the Date Simulation Modulator – a rather clunky translation of “Date Simulation Modulator”. This is one of the new rewards you can unlock from the vendor at the “Love is in the Air” festival in 2024. The corresponding vendors can be found in front of Stormwind (Alliance) or Orgrimmar (Horde). Several NPCs, quests, and portals will lead you to this location.
You can find the vendor in front of Stormwind.
The Date Simulation Modulator costs 100 “Tokens of Love” – the currency of the event.
What can the toy do? The toy is capable of changing the weather and sky (the so-called “skybox”) for all members of your group or raid.
This is especially interesting for role players who want to enact events and occurrences at a specific time of day or weather condition.
The Date Simulation Modulator allows you to adjust the weather and sky.
The possible settings of the Date Simulation Modulator are all tied to typical romantic events. The options include:
Peaceful Day
Romantic Sunset
Fireflies at Midnight
Downpour
Especially “Fireflies at Midnight” is likely to become a favorite for playing out long nights by the campfire.
“Fireflies at Midnight” will likely be the new standard for romantic WoW dates.
Especially cool: If you already own the “Environment Emulator”, then the new toy will simply be integrated into this one. Once you have unlocked it, you can also use the “Environment Emulator” and apply the new settings from the “Date Simulation Modulator” there.
How do you get the toy? If you have already spent your tokens on transmog or other rewards this year, it might be worth completing the entire quest line again with a second character. This takes about 30 minutes (of which most is travel time) and nets you over 100 Tokens of Love so that you can buy the toy right away.
Alternatively, you can, of course, also complete the daily tasks every day to slowly earn the necessary badges.
However, keep in mind that the event lasts only until February 18 – after that, the chance for this year is gone and you may regret it until next year.
The loot system in Diablo 4 has been under criticism for months and continues to be a topic for many players. The many affixes make it complicated and are simultaneously confusing and boring.
Items in Diablo 4 have “affixes,” which are additional values like critical hit chance. Affixes are numerous and require players to examine the loot closely to recognize upgrades for their items.
On Reddit, the topic of affixes and useless loot is discussed in a post on February 4. It states that the loot system in Diablo 4 is “arbitrarily complex” because of the affixes, and the entire process is boring.
With these settings, you can more easily recognize which items are useful for you:

“Confusing items with boring, confusing affixes”
What frustrates the players? The user “Shaka_Walls” shows in his post from February 4 on Reddit an image of an item affix in Diablo 4 and says: “I don’t even care whether this item is good; reading such effects makes me fall asleep.”
In the post, a lucky hit affix is visible, stating: “Up to a chance of up to 26%, reduce the cooldown of skills that are not ultimate skills by 1.5 seconds when dealing ‘bleed’ to elite enemies.”

This means, it could be that you have a lucky hit – and then a percentage chance to obtain cooldowns on skills. But not always, only when you cause “bleed” on elite enemies.
In the comment, “Shaka_Walls” adds: “This is supposed to be a UNIQUE. Why does this game insist on being so boring???”
In response, the user “wetballjones” in the comment explains that the developers had in mind that players wanted “more interesting itemization” and decided on confusing items with boring, confusing affixes.
What do other players say about this? Additionally, “wetballjones” in the comment draws a comparison to Diablo 2 and writes that the items there are exciting because you feel their effects and they are easy to understand. The item system in Diablo 4 gives him a headache.
“Diablo 4 should make easily understandable stats that allow interesting combinations. And cool effects for skills,” he writes on Reddit. The user “Otiosei” wants to see affixes that are “simple, clean, clear,” so that everyone knows what they do and what to do to trigger them.
The user “Distinct_Ad_9842” comments: “I’m surprised there isn’t something like a 25% chance to have a 10% chance to cause ‘bleed’ to elite enemies, but only on Tuesdays in months that end with ‘ovember’.” And “AquaticBagpipe” writes: “The ultimate ‘damage on Tuesday’ bonus.”
This is also referenced in the YouTube video by “CarbotAnimations,” where he humorously portrays the loot system in Diablo 4:

Another user notes in the comment that items in Diablo 4 are currently “complex for the sake of complexity. There is no logic or reason for this complexity. They are arbitrarily complex.”
Blizzard has apparently realized that it is difficult for players to make use of their loot. The development team has heard the criticism of the loot system in Diablo 4 and now wants to make changes to the items.
But when Skull and Bones finally sees the light of day after such a long time, it will do so without a solo campaign – even though the development of the MMO has already cost over 120 million US dollars as of 2021 (via Kotaku).
A former employee of Ubisoft who was the game director for Skull and Bones has now explained why there is no solo story.
Skull and Bones was originally supposed to have 3 major modes
But during the numerous delays, the direction also changed, and the pirate ship set its sails increasingly toward the open world, deprioritizing the other modes.

The focus on the open world seemed safer
What does the former Ubisoft employee say? As Elisabeth Pellen, the former game director of Skull and Bones, told IGN, Ubisoft thought it would be safer and more interesting for players to focus on the open world.
The PvP arena of the 5v5 mode and the open world were developed in parallel, but that was a challenge for the team because many members were working on their own IP for the first time. Therefore, the decision was made to cut everything that the team could not develop in parallel with the open world.
Initially, the 5v5 mode was cut, but the solo campaign was also affected, Pellen reveals: “Building a solo campaign is very time-consuming. We did not have the whole team to deliver a complete solo campaign.”
The update 0.1.4.1 for Palworld has been released on Steam. In the overview, we show you the patch notes in German.
What kind of update is this? The new update primarily focuses on fixing bugs. Some bugs were active in the game that negatively affected the experience. Additionally, the update targets cheats and exploits.
We will show you what the developers say about the new patch and what is written in the patch notes.

Patch Notes for Update 0.1.4.1 in German
These are the patch notes:
Major bug fixes:
A bug was fixed where the game would crash and the save file would become corrupted when the number of total caught Pals in a guild reached about 7,000.
In the last patch, save data that was already in this state (on servers with world data of the server) remained in a broken state, making loading impossible, but after applying this patch, it will be fixed and load correctly.
A bug was fixed where weapons carried by other players would disappear when a player threw a grenade in multiplayer.
A bug related to Lifmunk statues was fixed. Although it was indicated that the catch probability was increasing, it wasn’t actually increasing due to a bug. We reported on this curious catch bug.
Bug fixes related to your storage:
If a Pal was manually assigned to a breeding farm and then went to sleep, it would never wake up. This bug has been fixed.
A bug was fixed where no wood dropped when cutting down a Pal. This should now function properly.
Other bug fixes:
Countermeasures were implemented against some cheats and exploits.
The developers also remark: “We will continue development, with fixing the major issues and bugs as our top priority. We thank you for your continued support of Palworld.”
These are the reactions: In the comments under the patch notes on X, players are pleased about the measures taken. Especially the fixing of the bug related to the Lifmunk statues and the catch probability is being celebrated.

With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the trilogy surrounding the original Final Fantasy VII continues. Many fans are eagerly waiting to see how the journey of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Co. unfolds. At a preview event, MeinMMO editor Jasmin Beverungen got a taste of the first hours of the game and instantly fell in love with one of the characters.She also got an impression of the open world and mini-games.
In Final Fantasy VII Remake, the first part of the trilogy, Sephiroth appeared only occasionally. There were hardly any insights into his past or why he became such a villain. Moreover, throughout most of the game, he could only be perceived by Cloud. Those who haven’t dealt with Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion know very little about his motives.
Who is speaking here? Jasmin Beverungen has played several parts of the Final Fantasy series. She has spent a lot of time in FF14, but she also enjoys solo games like FF16, FF12, or FF3. After FF7 Remake, she can hardly wait to continue with Rebirth.
But in Rebirth, Sephiroth receives the stage he deserves. Without giving too much away: We see the heroic, young Sephiroth. He is celebrated by the world’s population and besieged by the press.
Through a fateful event, Sephiroth suddenly realizes that one detail from his past is incorrect. He immerses himself in several books and suddenly discovers something that drives him mad.
What awaits us in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth can be seen in the following trailer:
Start video
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth – Trailer
Sephiroth’s transformation is dramatically staged
And this transformation is staged so brilliantly that I found Sephiroth even more sympathetic. I can suddenly understand why he became the antagonist and went mad. The mood in the game shifts when he uncovers the secret of his past:
the lighting becomes darker and the music more menacing
he locks himself in a basement, immerses himself in books, and exhibits manic behavior
Cloud narrates in the third person how he experienced Sephiroth’s transformation and what kind of monster he became
The scenes captivated me so much that I couldn’t put down the controller. I even waited to have lunch because I didn’t want to interrupt these atmospheric scenes. The chaos that breaks out afterward was also a gripping experience.
I was very pleased that Sephiroth’s character transformation was so well staged. He is one of the most beloved Final Fantasy antagonists of all time and ranks high in all rankings.
His story is credibly written, and he transforms from a hero to the worst threat to the planet. Additionally, his theme “One-Winged Angel” is one of the most iconic soundtracks in the entire video game series.
One of the most iconic villains from Final Fantasy gets a larger stage.
Warning, spoiler: The following section reveals details about the story from Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Open World and mini-games provide more entertainment
In the second part of the series, players will have more freedom. In Remake, the adventures took place only in Midgar, but in Rebirth, they move to more open areas. Unfortunately, the progress from Remake is not carried over.
There is a good reason for this, according to Game Director Naoki Hamaguchi: Since Cloud and his friends changed their fate by breaking through the barrier, their abilities have also experienced a reset. It makes sense for the development team in terms of gameplay to reset the abilities – after all, players should feel a sense of freedom when released into the open world and not be bound to old skills.
After experiencing the great sequence with Sephiroth, I ventured out into the open world – or rather, an area of the open world. The game world is a cohesive world, where individual areas only become accessible over time through newly learned abilities.
An open world also comes with more opportunities for engagement.
The new game world is richly filled: After unlocking the area by towers, suddenly several symbols pop up on the map. This is reminiscent of the many side activities from The Witcher 3 or the Horizon series, which made me a bit worried that players might expect a large forest of unnecessary side activities.
It’s already a big leap that Cloud and his crew suddenly find themselves in an open world. If it were also packed with MMO-like fetch quests, it would spoil the enjoyment of the game for me.
But Hamaguchi was able to partially alleviate my concerns:
I understand that there are some worries and concerns about whether these story-driven games fit well with the idea of an open world and the style of free choice. […] But in the end, it’s up to the player; they have the choice of what they want to do.
Naoki Hamaguchi, Director of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
While there should still be more side quests, it should be clearly marked which quests are important and useful. Some side quests can, for instance, raise the group level to unlock new synergy abilities, which otherwise only come through the main story.
Through the side activities, the playtime can easily double. The new mini-games, which I got to test some in the preview, also contribute to that. For instance, it is possible to play a piano early on in FF7 Rebirth. Casual gamers will likely tap on the keys a few times, while musical virtuosos might enjoy themselves with it.
I had a lot more fun with the new card game Queen’s Blood. Here we play against a direct opponent and lay down cards in such a way that we gain the most areas for ourselves with points. Tactical skill is called for, and I can imagine spending as much time with this game as I did with Gwent in The Witcher 3. I couldn’t say no to a match there!
Hamaguchi also teased another mini-game to me, which is said to be a homage to the Gambit system from Final Fantasy XII. He mentioned that in this mini-game, especially logicians will get their money’s worth. He didn’t want to reveal more details, but I already know where I will spend my time aside from saving the world.
By the way, Hamaguchi isn’t sure if he will remain true to the franchise after the Final Fantasy trilogy. He wants to focus on the release of Rebirth first and deliver the best possible gaming experience.
Black Desert Online explains in a new video what to expect in the PvP area of the expansion “War of the Roses.” You can find out what else the expansion includes here.
What does the expansion bring? The expansion “War of the Roses” was recently announced for the MMORPG. It includes some new features designed to enhance the gaming experience:
A new storyline is intended to let players relive the conquest wars. You choose whether to join Kamasylvia or O’dyllita in the battle for the throne.
A new monster zone offers new, challenging opponents. You must defeat various ancient weapons to receive rewards.
The game will be expanded with a new PvP area where 300v300 battles will take place.
A new video explains what to expect in this new area and how to take on this new challenge in about 6 minutes:

“This game mode will be terrible for almost everyone”
What does the community say about it? In the comments (via YouTube), opinions about this showcased PvP gameplay are divided. For instance, user “davernrush” writes that he doesn’t play PvP, but it looks great here.
Other players wonder how feasible all this will be in the game and whether all players can participate at all. Since the 600 combatants consist of 200 guild members and 400 players from the “Third Legion,” user “j.a9541” speculates that this area will simply be dominated by the stronger guilds and players without a guild will have little chance.
User Inguise, however, suspects that this mode will be bad for “almost everyone” and refers primarily to the server optimization of the game.
Nevertheless, some players also write positive comments. For example, user “blisssup” writes: “Pretty fun and fair.” How the PvP mode actually performs in the game will probably only be known once it is tested by players.

On Reddit, a player posted a video where he has incredible luck in Palworld : He catches a legendary Pal with just a single sphere – with a catch chance of 4%.
To catch legendary Pals in Palworld, players often need heaps of spheres and numerous attempts.
However, a Reddit user posted a video showing him catching the legendary Pal Frostallion with one hit – despite preparing a total of 75 legendary spheres for his endeavor.

Then the player maneuvers into a suitable position to throw a legendary sphere at the sleeping Pal. Due to the “Back Bonus”, the catch chance was slightly increased, but still only stood at a mere 4%.
And indeed, the level 50 Frostallion was caught. Of the 75 crafted spheres, the player needed only a single one to add the legendary ice Pal to his collection.
How does the community react? The community reacts positively to the video. Some users joke that Frostallion is in for an unpleasant awakening.
Another player named skulledredditor congratulates on the catch and shares his own experience of being able to add the legendary Pal to his collection:
“Congratulations on the success! 4% is all you sometimes need. I’ve seen a handful of streamers catch it with terrible odds, so I went up once a night or so and threw a ball to see if I got lucky. In the end, I had to whittle the thing down to 136 HP and caught it with a Hyper Sphere at 2 %.”
In Palworld, there are a variety of bosses. Astegon is one of them. However, finding the entrance to his cave is not easy. We will show you how to find and fight this boss.
Which boss is it about? Astegon is one of many bosses in Palworld. The Pal is of Dragon/Shadows type. It is not only a good work Pal, but also very suitable as a flying creature.
Having Astegon on your team is therefore advantageous. However, finding him might not be straightforward. The entrance to the boss’s cave is well hidden and can easily be overlooked. We will tell you where to find the boss on the map.
Start video

How to find the entrance to Astegon’s cave
Where is Astegon located? The boss is located in the volcanic area. More precisely, in the southwest. Astegon resides in a destroyed mine shaft, very close to the fast travel point called Mount Obsidian.
Even if you travel there, you might miss the entrance to the mine shaft. The exact coordinates are -576, -421. Here you can see the location on the map:
The location of Astegon in the volcanic area (via mapgenie.io)
We have updated the article after publication and corrected errors regarding the recommended Pals and their elemental types.
Astegon is of Dragon and Shadows types and therefore has a weakness to Ice as well as to Dragon. So it’s best to bring along a suitable Pal. Ice Pals such as Penkinh or Ice Reptyro are suitable. For Dragon-type Pals, Jormuntide, Dinossom, or Azurobe are options. Chillet is Ice/Dragon and also well-suited for the battle.
Nevertheless, the battle can be tough. Astegon shoots cannons at you and has one or two attacks in his repertoire. It’s best to avoid them by running from left to right. In general, you should have heat-resistant armor with you. After all, you are right in the middle of the volcanic area.
Is there another Astegon in the game? Yes, there is. If you want to skip the trip to the volcanic area, there is another specimen of the Pal in Nature Reserve 3. You can find it at the top right of the map. To reach this area, you either have to use fast travel or fly there with a Pal. The nature reserve is not located on the mainland. A player shows how you get a fast flying Pal – but you should have some patience.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is coming soon to Steam and is the sequel to the popular and critically acclaimed role-playing game Dragon’s Dogma, which first launched in 2012 on PS2 and Xbox 360. Now, a trailer once again shows why the sequel is already considered a major RPG hope for 2024.
Why is it an RPG hope? Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an action role-playing game by Capcom, which will be released on March 22, 2024, on Steam, PS5, and Xbox.
Although the role-playing game can function without co-op, it offers many features that should particularly excite RPG fans:
A large, open world consisting of two nations with an interesting fantasy setting
Free customization of your character, including appearance, class, equipment, etc.
Three AI-controlled companions who assist you in battling various enemies, monsters, and dragons
How good the battles in Dragon’s Dogma 2 will look is shown in a new trailer, which not only sparks excitement among fans but also introduces a new class:
Start video
Dragon’s Dogma 2 showcases action-packed battles with a new class in the new trailer
What does the trailer show? The trailer gives you nearly 2 minutes of gameplay featuring various enemies, starting with a fight against a powerful dragon. As shown in the trailer, you have the opportunity to jump onto the dragon and attack it from its back.
In Dragon’s Dogma 2, you not only attack your enemies head-on but also utilize your surroundings and the opponents’ weaknesses.
This is also evident in another part of the trailer, which shows a wizard creating an impressive and visually stunning ice wall to block an incoming attack. Afterward, he uses the half-destroyed ice wall as a ramp and attacks his opponent from above.
This is especially interesting due to the new class introduced in the trailer. In English, it is called “Warfarer” and is a true multitasker in the game. It can use all weapons and abilities of other classes and switch between them fluidly in combat. As the trailer shows, this offers you plenty of opportunities to gain the upper hand in battles.
What are the reactions? Fans and players express their excitement in the comments under the trailer (via YouTube), not only looking forward to the release in March but are especially thrilled about the new class.
For example, user Stormwolf4 writes: “It is impossible to summarize the extent of my excitement for this game! This new class looks insane, and I love it!”
This comment pretty much sums up the majority of all other comments in two sentences. However, we don’t want to withhold a few other comments from you here:
KeyPinMaxos writes: “This new class can be a ‘game changer’ for various enemies and special situations, damn!”
Nailfut writes: “We are flying to the moon with this class, folks”

You take on the role of a Realmwalker, who is supposed to travel to strange worlds via portals to find a new home for humanity, because: Earth is on the brink of destruction.
The game focuses on PvE gameplay. You can explore strange worlds alone or together with other players and interact with the inhabitants. You can either negotiate peacefully with them or seize the lands by force.
Additionally, there are massive boss battles where you have to bring down gigantic giants by attacking their weak points.
You also collect and use resources to craft tools, improve equipment, and ensure your survival.
Looking at which games are currently the most wished-for on Steam, Nightingale occupies the 7th place.
This means that while the game is still below titles like Hades II, Manor Lords, or Hollow Knight: Silksong, it is still very high on the wishlists of Steam players.
On which platforms can you play Nightingale? Nightingale will be playable on PC. In addition to Steam, you can also get the game from the Epic Games Store. There are currently no plans for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
A new week begins in Destiny 2 and this time with the generosity of Commander Zavala. What you can accomplish in the loot shooter this week can be found in our Weekly Reset.
This is happening this week: Not much is happening this week.

So this is a rather quiet week where you can take care of things you have otherwise postponed.
Nevertheless, we will show you which modes are rotating and what else you can expect this week.

Farmable endgame on a weekly rotation: For all who love challenge and perfected loot, the endgame features what are known as Legacy Rotations. These can be repeated and thus farmed.
What does “Farmable Endgame” mean in Destiny 2?
Since Season 21, older missions and raids rotate weekly as Legacy activities and are farmable. This means: The currently active rotation raid, the currently active rotation dungeon, and the exotic rotation missions can be farmed during the week. You can complete the individual encounters multiple times to receive different items and complete your collection, including any exotics that might be available in these contents.
This week’s legacy raid is “Deep Stone Crypt” with the exotic rocket launcher Eyes of Tomorrow
Furthermore, you can farm the dungeon “Pit of Heresy”. In these depths, the exotic machine gun Xenophage can be found.
The weekly exotic mission is “Operation Seraph’s Shield” with the pulse rifle “Revision Zero”

All sources for top loot in Season 23 of Destiny 2
More power level comes automatically: Bungie has already eased the power level grind in Destiny 2 some time ago. The hard power cap has remained unchanged at 1,810 for several seasons. This means no player is forced to perform at their best every week, but instead levels up the artifact level automatically with all activities. Nevertheless, there are still a few activities in the game where you can benefit from an artifact level of up to +20.
If you are currently not at the hard cap of 1,810, we have listed the best sources for top loot for you here.
This top loot brings your power level up to 1,810:
Complete the sector in Neomuna while you possess a polsymorphic shell code.
Weekly Lightfall campaign mission on Legendary (+2)
Play the “Sector Reboot” in Neomuna
Complete ritual activities in the Vanguard, Gambit, or Crucible
Hawthorne’s Clan task: Grant 5 appreciation cards to other guardians (+2 and 7 enhancement cores)
Trials of Osiris (+2)
If further sources emerge by the end of Season 23, we will promptly add them here.

With the weekly reset in Destiny 2, captivating challenges, rewarding rewards, and exciting activities await you again. What reward are you particularly looking forward to this week? Feel free to let us know in the comments. You can find everything about the new server downtime here: Destiny 2: Server Down for Update 7.3.4.1 – All Patch Notes and Info
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
On this Tuesday, Destiny 2 is receiving an update again. This means you will be temporarily banned from the game to bring the loot shooter up to date. MeinMMO will tell you when you can log back in.
This is what you need to know today: As with almost every Tuesday, there is a new update for Destiny today as well. For this, the servers must go offline, which means you will not be able to play for a while.
Update, 18:28: The update can now finally be downloaded after a slight delay and is 319.6 MB on the PS5. After the download, however, you can log in after a short queue.
However, MeinMMO will keep you informed. We will tell you how long the downtime will take. Additionally, we will update this article as soon as there is new information.

Maintenance on 06.02 – All Times for Server Downtime
These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via x.com (formerly Twitter) about the exact downtime. The servers are planned to be unreachable today for 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Here’s what the maintenance schedule looks like:
At 14:00, background maintenance will start on all platforms.
At approximately 14:45, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
During the downtime, Bungie will gradually roll out update 7.3.4.1 so that players on all platforms can download and install it.
At 18:00, the shooter is expected to be back online and you can log in again.
The maintenance will continue in the background until 20:00.
What to consider during downtimes: As long as the background maintenance is running, there may be connection issues in the game. Additionally, there may sometimes be queues during login because Bungie only gradually grants access to the servers to avoid problems caused by too high server load. Therefore, it may take longer for you to get back into the game.
The following issues are known: Even in the Season of the Wish there are many problems that players are complaining about. Bungie has noted some (via bungie.net), but it is not known which of these will be fixed. However, the following bugs may be addressed:
The fireteam finder misses some options like adding Bungie friends.
Some legendary emotes are sorted with exotic emotes.
Veist rifles can only be partially rotated when inspected.
The shotgun “Thought Reverser” no longer glows when fired.
Some rocket launchers no longer appear when inspected.
Old artifacts are still displayed in players’ inventories.
What is in the patch notes? A complete overview of all fixed issues and improvements will only be available tonight after the update goes live.
We will update our article and provide you with the link to the patch notes. It is possible that the patch notes may change later or be corrected by Bungie.
In Diablo 4, the introduction of leaderboards was expected in Season 3, aimed at expanding the endgame with additional content. However, after a date for the feature was announced, the developers walked back their statements.
Leaderboards are the best lists in Diablo 4. They are associated with a dungeon, the Gauntlet, which changes weekly. Here you can climb the leaderboard and even score rewards.
After the announcement was picked up on social media, Rod Fergusson himself said on X on the evening of February 5 that the team decided to take more time and postpone the leaderboards.
Today, on February 6, the “Lunar Awakening” event starts in Diablo 4:
Start video
Diablo 4: Lunar Awakening – All new content of the event
What does the developer say about the leaderboards? In a post from February 5, Rod Fergusson commented on the change of plans for the leaderboards on X:
It’s great to see the excitement about the Gauntlet and the leaderboards. We are still on track for Season 3, but we have decided to take a little more time to polish a few things, so it won’t be released on February 13, as I mentioned in a recent podcast.
We will share more details and the new date soon.
“There is a lack of engaging endgame”
The post was picked up on X and commented on. Some players there seem disappointed, as they apparently see the leaderboards and the associated dungeon as a welcome change for the endgame.
This is what the community says about it: Streamer and content creator Rob2628 shared Rod Fergusson’s post and wrote that he had already been disappointed that the leaderboards did not launch directly with Season 3 in Diablo 4. “This has ruined all the hype,” he writes on X.
In his opinion, players are running out of things to do in Diablo 4, “as there is a lack of engaging endgame.” He argues that “spending all day just killing Duriel or Malphas for a chance at an Uber-Unique is not THE endgame for many. Some type of challenging content would be great!”
A user comments that the developers are not doing themselves any favors. For most casual players, there is nothing to do in Sanctuary (via X).
Are there also opposing opinions? Other players note that it isn’t so bad if the leaderboards come later. One user writes on X that he is level 83 and plays a lot, “so a few extra days are not a big deal.”
Another user writes on X: “Most players probably aren’t ready for the Gauntlet in this season anyway.”
On February 5, we reported about the planned release of the leaderboards and the Gauntlets for Season 3 in Diablo 4. In the comments section, “Compadre” notes that the season should at least run for a month before the leaderboards are integrated. “If you bring it two weeks after the season starts, you will only have streamer presence in the first weeks, just like in Sanctuary of Zires.”
A streamer and Diablo expert criticizes the slow pace. Everything happening in Season 3 of Diablo 4 is simply too sluggish or comes too late. The fact that the leaderboards will only arrive after the season begins takes a lot of the anticipation and joy out of trying to navigate the best lists. Nonetheless, he also praises Season 3: An expert on Diablo 4 praises Season 3, but one thing diminishes his desire to play

The Luxembourgish Twitch streamer LetsHugo recently came into focus of the broadcaster RTL in his home country, which published a small documentary about him. In the interview, he spoke among other things about his monthly income and provided interesting insights into his life as a successful content creator.
Who is LetsHugo? LetsHugo, whose real name is Hugo, is a 20-year-old streamer from Luxembourg who speaks High German in his streams. This allowed him to expand his audience far beyond the borders of his home country and he is among the 50 most-watched streamers on the German Twitch (via SullyGnome).
He dropped out of school because streaming was more important to him – The success of LetsHugo
Streamer reveals when a month is considered “good”
What does the streamer say about his income? In the now-released documentary, RTL estimated LetsHugo’s monthly income at 20,000 to 40,000 euros. The streamer tempered these figures and emphasized that they might apply in “good months,” which, for example, January 2024, is not the case.
“More? No, no, no. I mean, this month will definitely be less than 20k,” LetsHugo explained. At the same time, he added somewhat jokingly: “To be on top, you also have to touch the ground again. To jump off”.
LetsHugo’s remarks sparked controversial reactions in the chat as the streamer watched the documentary with his fans.
Some viewers expressed outrage about his income and compared it to their own standard of living. Comments such as “He earns more than my whole family combined” or “You earn more than ten times what I do” became more frequent.
In particular, the fact that the streamer seems to only consider a month “good” if he earns more than 20,000 euros appears difficult for the viewers to grasp.
What goals does the streamer have? Although LetsHugo emphasized that he did not receive any money for the interview, he hinted that he is always looking for new opportunities to increase his success. In the documentary, he was even compared to the famous American YouTuber MrBeast.
Despite his success, LetsHugo continues to strive for more. He explained in the interview with RTL that he wants to rise not only in Luxembourg but also in Germany. His goal is to “climb into the top 5, top 4, top 3, top 2, and finally to number 1”.
As early as November 2023, LetsHugo made headlines, when he reacted in a clip to a reality TV show in which a participant considered 1,500 euros to be a lot of money. LetsHugo dryly commented: “One stream”.

Adin Ross was on his way to becoming one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. However, after several controversial appearances, the platform permanently banned him. He is now with the competitor Kick and is making headlines there as well with scandals.
What kind of appearance was that? The Kick streamer Adin Ross (23) had invited a very special guest to his stream on February 5, 2024: the popular rapper Jordan Terrell Carter, also known as “Playboi Carti.” The stream was supposed to take place right after the Grammy Awards where the musician had performed.
Adin Ross is said to have received a lucrative deal from Kick similar to xQc:

Rapper makes Adin Ross wait an hour and a half
How did the appearance go? Probably not as planned. Because Playboi Carti made Adin Ross wait for over an hour and a half – during that time, the streamer sat alone with his chat in a darkened room, apparently some sort of warehouse.
When the rapper finally showed up, the interaction between him and Adin Ross seemed quite uncomfortable and forced: Playboi Carti wore a mask and was hardly recognizable in the dark hall. The rapper mumbled a few unintelligible sentences, danced briefly to his own music, and had Adin Ross hand him a bag full of cash – then he vanished.
In just under 6 minutes, it was all over. Left behind were a disappointed Adin Ross and his viewers. Particularly bitter: The streamer is said to have paid a lot of money for the appearance.
On the day of the appearance, he had denied rumors that he would be paying Playboi Carti $50,000: In reality, it was 2 million in cash and a Ferrari:

The YouTuber Ludwig Ahgren referred to the incident in his video from February 5, 2024, as likely the biggest livestream scam of all time (via YouTube). However, he also expresses doubts that Adin Ross actually paid the full 2 million US dollars.
The streamer mentions during a phone call in the stream that he “did not pay for that.” This could mean that it was not him, but Kick who covered the cost of the appearance, or that he at least did not pay the full sum.
Some viewers even speculate that the whole appearance was staged. However, for Ludwig, this does not seem plausible: Adin Ross is not that good of an actor.
Moreover, the streamer was still specifically flown in for the appearance and really waited an hour and a half in the dark hall for Playboi Carti. Even if the monetary loss might be somewhat lower, the streamer still paid a high price, according to the YouTuber.
Although some fans are disappointed with the rapper’s behavior, sympathy for the streamer is limited, as Adin Ross himself is a controversial figure. In his early 20s, he made a rapid rise on Twitch, followed by a steep fall:
Adin Ross had been streaming on Twitch since 2014, but his channel only really took off in 2020 and 2021. By 2022, he was already one of the highest earners on the platform.
In early 2023, Adin Ross, who had increasingly showcased gambling in his streams, began streaming on Kick. Shortly thereafter, he was banned from Twitch and even prompted the platform to do something almost unique: Twitch explained the ban.
In recent years, content creators have increasingly come into the public eye and have continually attracted the attention of more traditional celebrities. The scandalous YouTuber IShowSpeed also had a prominent guest in his stream, but that went terribly wrong:
In the survival game Enshrouded, you can use magic and fight various enemies with spells. However, one spell is currently stronger than it should be.
Which spell is it about? The spell is called “Acid Bite” and causes a solid amount of initial damage as well as poison damage on top of that.
The poison damage significantly reduces your enemies’ health bar with each tick. For example, a video is circulating on Reddit showing a player defeating the boss enemy “Fell Wispwyvern” with the spell. After just three ticks of poison damage, the creature was defeated.
Here you can see the Acid Bite spell in action on Reddit. Caution: The clip contains a spoiler for the corresponding boss fight against Fell Wispwyvern:

In the comments under the Reddit post, the poster also writes that he has not found any boss that could withstand more than 3 hits from the spell.
The only slight downside of the spell is that the animation for casting it takes noticeably longer than it does for other attacks. Nevertheless, Acid Bite is so strong that the developers of the survival game have already spoken up and announced a change.

Enshrouded: The Early Access trailer for the new survival hit on Steam
The spell is much stronger than planned
What do the developers say about the spell? On Reddit, an employee of Keen Games, the developer studio behind Enshrouded, responded to the video where the player kills the Fell Wispwyvern with a single attack.
According to him, the spell is currently bugged and therefore significantly stronger than it is supposed to be. The development team is already working on fixing the error.
Until the overly high damage of the spell is successfully fixed, the developer wishes everyone a lot of fun “melting” everything possible with the attack.
If you want to use the Acid Spit spell in its full, unpatched strength, you should hurry. With such a strong attack, it is definitely advantageous that the survival game does not rely on player-versus-player combat and completely forgoes PvP.
In League of Legends, organizations continuously try to build a so-called ‘super team’ by acquiring strong individual players from other teams, who were either leaders or even stars in their former teams. In 2024, Cloud9 attempted this in the USA. However, once again, the approach seems to be failing: After a strong start, they faced 4 defeats.
What is it with super-teams in LoL?
The idea is to purchase stars who were the clear leaders in other teams because it is believed that such a star ensemble must be even stronger when playing together.
For example, in Europe, Team Vitality tried to build a super team around one of the nominally strongest European players, Perkz, by acquiring top-notch teammates – but this turned out to be a catastrophic failure. Despite having a strong lineup, the team finished last in the summer of 2023 and disbanded.
This year, Cloud9 acquired the best from the USA and aimed to break the super-team curse.

Cloud9 assembles the best talent that North America has to offer
Who did Cloud9 acquire? Cloud9 has traditionally been one of the strongest teams in the USA. They have won the LCs 6 times in total, most recently in the Spring Split of 2023. However, in the Summer Split, they had to accept defeat against NRG and finished only second.
For the new season, they retained 3 old players to form the backbone:
Jungler Blaber has been with the team since June 2018
Cloud9 wins the first 3 games, then loses 4 in a row
This is how it went: Cloud9 finished first in the LCS in the summer of 2023, and one would assume that if you strengthen a team this well, it would improve, but the opposite is true:
The team won its first 3 games
But has now lost 4 games in a row
This puts them in 5th place in the league. This is an unusual losing streak for the success-oriented Cloud9.
Player makes fun of the super-team curse
How does Cloud9 respond? Vulcan takes it all with humor: He tweets – ‘We heard that super-teams fail – so we are currently showing that we are not one.’
What’s behind it: There is likely enough talent at Cloud9; just Jojopyun and Berserker should theoretically be enough to secure a top place in the rather weak LCS.
But the question remains whether the curse of the super team weighs heavier than all this amassed talent.
This is indeed an interesting phenomenon in LoL, that the chemistry and hierarchy within a team seem to be so important that you cannot just throw together top players and hope for the best.
Protecting oneself from harm is extremely important if you want to survive in Palworld. Ironically, one of the basic items for this was completely missed by a player: the shield.
Which item are we talking about? On Reddit, a user shared that he only discovered the shield in Palworld at level 35. He had not used it before because he thought he had to use it manually, and he did not understand its purpose.
However, a video made him aware of the blue indicator above the health bar. He then realized that the shield is permanently active and does not need to be used manually.
So he crafted a shield right away and found that the battles are now significantly easier.
Start video
Palworld: Here you will find a super fast ground mount
These are the reactions from the community: On Reddit, there are numerous reactions to this mistake, which many find amusing but also understandable. Some players admit that they have encountered similar misunderstandings. Here are some reactions:
Sample_Muted writes: “I wonder how many people just didn’t look at the image, read shield, and thought, wtf, I don’t want a shield, I can just dodge.”
Arudoblank comments: “That was me. I thought I had a bow, why would I use a shield?”
MrBreaktime notes: “It should be called shield barrier or barrier instead.”
This is how the shield works in Palworld: Shields in Palworld can be crafted at your primitive workbench, which you unlock right at the beginning of the game. Later on, at level 28, you unlock the conveyor belt workshop, where you can also craft stronger shields.
Once you have crafted a shield, it will be in your inventory. There is a special slot for your shield where you can place it.
Once equipped, the shield remains active, and a blue bar appears over your health indicator, showing the remaining shield. You do not need to equip it manually; it surrounds you automatically like a thin barrier in battle that protects you.
Recently, players noticed that there is an item that reduces the capture probability, although it is actually meant to increase it. You can read about it here:
